A short review on the morphology of Trypanosoma cruzi: from 1909 to 1999
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999 The morphology of Trypanosoma cruzi is reviewed since the initial description of Giemsa-stained preparations by Carlos Chagas until the most recent micrographs obtained with freeze-fracture techniques.

Cold-water octocoral Viminella flagellum respiration rates during an acute Cu exposure
, 2022 Herein we report the respiration rates (O2 consumption) of the cold-water coral Viminella flagellum exposed to acute Cu concentrations. In a lab experiment, sixty nubbins of V.

Double Helix Structure for Stable Flexural Actuation in Soft Robotics
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work introduces a double‐helical architecture for soft robotic actuators that enhances twisting resistance, increases output force, and minimizes undesired deformation. Actuators driven by shape‐memory alloy wires exhibit a roughly fivefold higher torsional/flexural stiffness ratio and 50% greater force output.

New flagellum rotation around the old flagellum does not occur.
(A-C) SBF-SEM data slice (scale bar = 1 μm) and two 3D reconstructed models (scale bar = 2 μm) of a Stage 1, 2 and 3 cell illustrating that there is no rotation of the new flagellum (orange) around the old flagellum (opaque pink) during new flagellum ...

Functional Specialization of Respiratory and Olfactory Mucus Revealed by Proteomic Profiling
International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Mucus overlies the nasal mucosa in the respiratory and olfactory regions, which perform distinct physiological functions. However, proteomic differences between respiratory mucosa (RM) and olfactory cleft (OC) mucus remain unclear.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Stenopodidea represents one of the basal lineages within Pleocyemata, yet the male reproductive system (MRS) of this group remains poorly understood, with limited information available regarding its morphology and function. This study provides the first detailed description of the MRS in four stenopodidean shrimp species from two families ...

A Flagellum-specific Calcium Sensor
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005 The flagellar calcium-binding protein (FCaBP) of the flagellated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi associates with the flagellar membrane via its N-terminal myristate and palmitate moieties in a calcium-modulated, conformation-dependent manner. This mechanism of localization is similar to that described for neuronal calcium sensors, which undergo calcium ...

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Astaxanthin is a carotenoid with strong antioxidant properties, used in research on cancer treatment, ocular injuries, and neurological disorders. When produced by the microalgae Haematococcus lacustris, its antioxidant potential is even higher than that of the synthetic molecule, making it particularly attractive for pharmaceutical and ...
